La Jolla 5-9-2024 on the SOLO SKIFF
I don't post much anymore because fishing hasn't been great for the last few years. Many get bored when there's no fish porn in a report, so it leads to NO REPORTS. Having been at "the right place at the right time" today, I though I might share it. Tight Lines!

Congratulations Mark,
Good to see your efforts pay off! ! It certainly looked like there were some good marks on the meter. Nice that one decided to bite! Did you ever find the missing hook from the DTX? Maybe a second fish hit the lure and tore it off? What about slow trolling live baits on the Solo? Any luck doing that? or is it too much of a PITA to kick the engine in and out of gear to keep from going too fast ? |

Thanks, YTHunter. Tight Lines!
It's a 2020 Tohatsu 6HP, 15" shaft, 4 stroke. Same engine is also sold as a Mercury 6HP, for a little more $.

Hey Sully, yes early on the water surface was getting rougher and rougher. It calmed down a little later and when I was leaving earlier it was mostly calm. Left earlier than planned since I had a nice LJ Yellowtail to put under more ice. Taste sooooooo gooooooooddd.

Nice YT! I was nervous the whole time, thinking a fat O slug lion was going to steal it away. Good work and well deserved.

Thanks, Pinhead. I'm always looking for a furbag or the taxman, when fighting the fish and especially while bleeding and cleaning the large Yellowtail. Tight Lines!
